Oh, hey Bear. I'm sitting in this hole.
Uh huh. Why?
It's just where I am today.
Okaaay. Hey, is it like sitting in a cave?
Yep, same thing.
Okay, I understand now. Can I get you anything?
Nah, I'm good, thanks.
You're sure?
Well, a fresh drink would be nice.
Have this one. Catch.
Thanks. Summer Fruits. Nice. Damn.
What?
I still can't get a signal.
You need to make a call?
Well no, not exactly. But I want to order pizza.
Want me to do it for you?
Would you mind?
Not at all. The usual?
Please. You know what I like. Want to stay and share?
No, but thanks. I get the hole thing. Solitary. Check.
Righto.
Will they deliver to a hole?
I once had them deliver to a moving bicycle.
Right. Okay, well, I'll explain. Shouldn't be a thing.
That'd be great, I appreciate it. Can we settle up another day?
Sure, I'll take care of it. And I'll leave the umbrella. It looks like rain.
No need, I'll be fine. It seems appropriate somehow.
Okay. Right, I'm off. See you when you get out.
Will do. Oh, and Bear?
Yeah?
Thanks, man.
No problem.

The thing is, you may think you are in a hole, but in fact you are exactly where you intend to be, just like a wizard :) Somehow being in the wrong place, is just the place you need to be, to be able to make sense of all around you x Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteHey Robbie! Well spoken, my young padawan. It's like George wrote in the prologue to the book of the original Star Wars movie in 1977:
ReplyDeleteThey were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally, they became heroes.

Smart bear that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI should've known Domino's would deliver to places like that. They even do separate dimensions, I hear.
ReplyDeletedelivered to a moving bicycle? Really?
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous!
:-)
If you spend a lot of time in that hole, I'd get a few modern conveniences. A phone, comfy chair and a beer fridge. Just a thought
ReplyDeleteHey Eolist! He is indeed, though he forgot the chicken strippers. Mercifully, the delivery guy was a regular and remembered I liked sweet chilli dip rather than barbecue. Else it could have got ugly; I'm an ungrateful cuss.
ReplyDeleteHey Scott! No, they're no longer allowed! Franchise rules forbid it for "health and safety" reasons, though I suspect it's just to avoid paying the delivery guys extra.
Hey Nancy! Yes indeed. And the fella that borrowed a biplane to get one to us in the Grand Canyon was pretty plucky, too.
Hey 'Difficult! A bucket of ice keeps the beer cold, but the plasma screen and PS3 is being installed on Monday. Pop by, we can sulk together.
Thanks one and all! Indigo
I see you've dug yourself into another hole. Good thing you've got Bear to help supply provisions until you can climb out again. Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteCaves, holes, spaces...they are just the thing sometimes ;-)

Hey CatLady! I'm back in the house now. I'm rarely there for more than a few hours. Good grief, I can't sleep in a hole! But Bear is a kind soul, and understands what makes me tick, poor lad.
ReplyDeleteHey Ms. Fin! Oh my yes. Attics can also be good, though usually they're either too hot or cold. The clutter is relaxing, mind.
Thanks to you both! Indigo
Well, I really enjoyed that!
ReplyDeleteHave you climbed out of your hole yet? I've dug more than one in my life, honestly, and I'm thinking of digging another.

It is so rare that one can bear witness to our hole situation.
ReplyDeleteYour audience demand more blog entries.
ReplyDeleteWell, OK. I do. Please.
I know of being stuck in a hole. I wish I could get pizza here.
